      Default Budget engine swap/regasket

      Figured I go ahead and ask this here to cover my bases.

      I’m currently collecting the parts and gaskets to drop my 96 exploder 5.0 into my LTD and just curious if there is a good list of things to replace while the motor is out of the car.

      Car will be a fair weather cruiser/(future) bruiser.

      Buying all the good Fel-Pro gaskets.
      So far I have:
      Intake manifold set (96 explorer)
      Oil pan gasket (1 piece steel/rubber)
      Thermostat
      Timing cover/Water pump (86 Mustang)

      Items I know I still need:
      Oil pan
      Oil pump/pick up
      Oil pump shaft
      Head gaskets (9333-pt1)
      Sensors (TPS/IAC/ACT/ECT/EGR)
      Head bolts (ARP)
      Valvesprings (Alex’s Parts)
      Timing chain (Cloyes)
      Throttle body gaskets
      Throttle body bolts
      Timing cover/Water pump bolts

      That’s what I can think of as a first timer reading what others have done. Definitely on a budget, but if any of you experienced guys can chime in with some things you’ve learned it would be much appreciated.
